My friend is going overboard with botox & fillers! How do I tell him enough is enough?
Hi Jake,My friend has a problem. He keeps going to various doctors for more and more botox, fillers, and other enhancements, and it’s starting to make him look, well, crazy. Almost every time I see him, he looks like he’s had another round of getting something altered, whether it be more filler in his cheeks, more botox around his forehead (I basically can’t even tell if he’s having an emotion any more because his face won’t move!), or getting his lips plumped up.

Clearly, he has some warped view of himself, and just isn’t seeing himself the way others do. He thinks getting more work done is helping things, but it’s making them worse! How do I convey that he’s actually taken it too far?
I don’t want to insult him because his self-esteem is so fragile, but if I don’t say something, I fear he’s going to look like the human Ken doll soon. Saving FaceDear Saving Face,It’s one thing to want to look our best, and even seek occasional help for that.
It’s another thing when it becomes obsessive, and starts looking, as you put it, “crazy.”Any time a friend is engaging in something that might be unhealthy, it’s okay to have concerns.
